It's been nearly two months since Fayetteville resident Nina Davuluri, 24, became the first Indian-American to be crowned Miss America. She's already traveled to at least seven states, Canada and the United Kingdom, and may go to India.

The most exciting people she met: Former President Bill Clinton, Indian- American actress Mindy Kaling ( who starred on "The Office" and currently stars on "The Mindy Project;") and President Barack Obama.

What about Obama? President Obama shook my hand and said congratulations, and I thought to myself 'wow, I met the President. Then lo and behold, a White House staff member pulled me aside and invited me into the Oval Office. I was able to do a picture and speak with him about the job of Miss America and what I want to accomplish in my career. He was very genuine and engaging.

The first two months: After I was crowned I was whisked off to a press conference and had about 20 minutes to see my family and friends. Then I had to pack all my belongings into two suitcases, and we hit the road. It's been nonstop ever since.

Her boyfriend in Syracuse "There is a gentleman I've been seeing,'' she said. She keeps in touch with him, and her family, through Skype, Facetime and Twitter. But she declined to say anything else about the man in her life.

The hardest part of being Miss America: Living out of suitcases! It's so much easier said than done.

What's also difficult: Finding time to sleep and exercise. "I don't have time for naps in my schedule, but I try to sleep on the plane when I can,'' she said

What she didn't expect: I knew what the job entailed, but to actually start doing it...oh my gosh. Nothing can prepare you for it until you are doing it. So it's just getting into the swing of things. I haven't had much time to process anything yet.

Her impact: Davuluri said her message of diversity through cultural sensitivity is spreading "not only to Americans, but globally as well. I think it has helped create discussion and conversation, and I've heard from a lot of supporters."

Her life today: "My life changed overnight...in the matter of two hours. It's a huge responsibility, and I'm looking forward to a wonderful year."

She wouldn't rule out a turn on "Dancing with the Stars" No one has approached her, but in the future she'd consider it if time allowed. "I'm not ruling anything out," she said.
